Default Supercharger Pictures & Stable

Had it for about 3 months. Gets about 19-21 mpg on freeway (better than stock), and about 13-15 with city driving. Very, Very Fast!!! Runs about $3,900 (with no tax & free shipping) when purchased via the internet from an out of state vendor. Paid a local (San Diego) Toyota dealer $600.00 for the install. Only have an audible whine/sound under hard acceleration, about equivalent to the A/C on medium, but quiet as stock when driven normally (although when does that happen). Enjoy!

Very sweet man, the black looks awesome, what stuff do you use to keep your black cars looking so great and how often do you change the oil with the SC and do you use synthetic or dino

Your GS looks great w/ those wheels those are my favorite........

Is that the super charger from Japan? If it is I thought it cost more then that.

I want one.

All your cars look nice.......

Emvanderpol,

Very nice pics, love all three of them! I can't get over how similar our 'stables' are ! I'm don't want to put a bunch of pics in to hijack your thread, but its very coincidental, lol.

Mine:
Supercharged Black Lexus GS400
96 Black Acura NSX-T
98 LS400

For the LS we were SO close to getting a black LX or GX instead (and still may trade at some point). Oh, and my girlfriend wants to supercharge the NSX too .

Again, very cool vehicles - all three!

rkrzyston: The SC was installed at Toyota of Escondido, took about a day, and your locations are close. I'm in La Costa, overlooking the lagoon and golf course.

Edge2: Black really is not my favorite color, it just turned out that these were the best deals at the time. I just have them cleaned regularly. If I had to do it again I would have looked for a white GX.

(-.-): It is the TRD one. I think that is the Japanese one?

DaveGS4: Great minds do think alike : ). Get the SC for the NSX. Of all the cars, that one is the one that needed it most.
